MY DREAM I remember her, as she used to come to my house, fresh and love ly, She had been in the habit of laughing and chatting to me; she was her grandfather's housekeeper ..hind would sometimes tell me her little difficulties, and Y would help her. One day, I remember, she said her grandfather -was i11, and the doctor had ordered a little wine She came for it often after ; and I sometimes wondered that the old man cared for so much of it. Then .1 noticed a change in Bessie ; and One day 1 heard that she had gone away, and I never saw her again - till in this dream In my dream her grandfather followed her close. ly. She had been his pec and dar- ling. Even now 1 see the fierce light in his old eyes, as he hissed, from between his fevered Iips, the terrible words : "You ruined her ! and yon -a Christian !" I shut my oyes in agony, but it was no use. -A woman, who seemed maddened by despair, rudely tore my hands from before my eyes. 1 dared not look, but she made me. "Don't you know Hie?" she cried. Don't you remember me as I was before , that infernal wine of yours ruined my home? Look at my John there and see how he's altered -and no 'wonder He took to the drink, too when he found that his Mary spent all she could get for drink, and left her children to starve. Yes, and DIV baby child -because I neglected it -it died when 1 was mad with •,d yank, and I can hear it now -yes, ..t1,'W 1 Yon needn't look so..1 want you to suffer, for your drink temp- ted me ! You were the cause of it ail, Again I tried to hide my face, but this time the gruff voice of a man roused me. "Its no use" he waid, you shall listen. Look there at my wife. You haven't forgotten 'Bonny Nellie' as they called het when I married her, I suppose? "S't'on know I took her from one 'good home to another, and until yotlr wine came into it we were Happy. Perhaps you haven't for. gotten how you persuaded her that the wine would be good for me, when I was ill, and that when I drank more and more wine. and oon went on to something stronger on scolded her for not keeping Hie from it Perhaps you haven't forgotten how miserably I died, and then how my Nellie tried :fight ng life alone, and how she failed eiiid died too? .And all through n.1 and you a Christian, too 1 To be continued Ethel M.

Scares of substantial houses and com- modious burns back up the assertion of observing citizens that there is not fL poor'fariner within 10 miles, These hien who know their hone country and its capabilities, say that it is on<tlie verge of even more abund- ant :Oeeperity, They are "strong" for Huli,n ;Cotnnty as a whole, and es- peciiillx for their home district. Get to D tsli41'oocl on the first train is their advice;.ta° the "back to the soiler.." The Need of Railroads Itt right here comes the trouble. Phe*, isn't any train. Lack of railway counrtai kation is keeping one of the best districts in Ontario for extensive farming 'from full relization of its possibilitiescct. Dlir. aKellerman farrier. busi- nessman and leader in his community, is authority for the statement that a railway, steam or• electric, bringing better, shipping facilities to Dashwood, Shaplct Crediton and other villages in the .G' iron district, which are now utterly :without transportation would result, in revolutionizing the a.gri- cultire of the community. The Best of Soil "Wehave tITh best possible soil for yotiii vegetables, sugar beets and - similar products,"`he told The Aclver-. tiser -"Our situation near the lake, combined with the character of large portions of our soil, is very . favorable for growing fruit. But our fanners, if they wish to make a profit, are con- fined almost exclusively to the grow- ing of cereals and to stock farming snugly because of the long haul necessary to get their products to the shipp ng stations. Better railroad facilities would result in a great change for the better in Huron agri- culture. " I'do not mean to say that stock farimng is unprofitable. In fact, thee are few farmers to be found aroiilid here who are not in comfort- able circumstances. But if we are to build up Canada, w e must go in for more intensive farming. We must get nacre people on the land. The great problem of the future to mymind is how to feed our own Ca- nadian people. It takes 200 acres of land to enter the -stock business on a er pxofiteb!e scale; and when we .e4in,altatn .•xi!:e riot oingth�s: The same'200acres it up into smaller farms would feed :many more people. Besides this seve- ral.faiiniljes would be getting their living from the same amount of land 'which is now supporting one family. That, r think. is not the best kind of farming for Ontario.- A Practical Instance "1 have a 100 -acre farm near the lake, which is splendidly adapted for fruit -growing. If I could I should put 50 acres of it into fruit. But un- der the present conditions I could not market my product. "From the central part of this neighborhood it is a natter of from nine to eleven miles to the nearest railway station. Everything we get in or send out must be hauled that' distance. This is a serious handicap "Our people here are of the kind to appreciate the value of intensive farm- ing. • They are German and English, the ]find who stick close to the soil. As I have said before, our land is ad- mirably adapted to both vegetable and fruit culture. It's only a ques- tion of opening up the country, I be- lieve that with proper shipping facili- ties our population would show a strong increase, and the production of our land would increase many fold" ' A Fair Profit Asked how mucli a good farmer could make off a farm of between 100 and 200 acres under present condit- ions, Mr. Kellerman, after some care- ful figuring, placed the amount at between $1,100 and $1,200. `fustics soon as we get adequate transportation facilities" said Mr. Kellerman in closing, this countryis bound to go -ahead, We have the soil and we have people of .ambition, in- dustry and intelligence. What we must Have is a better outlet for our products. There are hundreds of acregstill held by the. Canada Land Company, in this county, which, if they were out west would be snatch- ed upin,a moment. Because they are here people do not seem to realize' their value- They pass over the good thing near at home in the attempt td got rieh quick. Ontario soil is good enough for anyone, and it is always ready to give a good living to those wh' care for it intelligently. Publicity such as you have been gi ng is a splendid thing for all W Stern Ontario. If people are to find crit what we have, we must tell them about it."
